I will share this with everyone I can. Gavin Ortlund is the invaluable titan of defending Protestantism against the onslaught of Orthodox accusations.

Ex muslim here, Protestant Christian now(reformed)

"Number one, Protestantism is more Catholic."

This one will have a spicy comment section, I can already tell.

[AntonsClass]

This was a compelling argument for Protestantism I haven't heard before. I appreciate it.

[merelychristian]

This is beautifully done. I find myself drawn toward Catholicism, but 99% of the Christians I know and love are Protestant and I never want to disrespect the tradition that brought me this far, no matter where my personal journey takes me. Thank you for your work 🤍

[TheRoark]

So excited to finally have this up! This was a blast to work on and I am so honored to get to help this channel’s mission.

[Ragnar-hglm]

Thanks to you I have found peace in my protestant beliefs. May the Lord bless your ministry

[roses]

Amazing work!! Love being protestant. Thanks brother!😊

[my.apologies]

I love how youtube is on the 3rd place pedestal after tradition and scripture as potential 'rules of faith" hahah

[jacoblebron]

Thank you Dr. Ortlund. As a Protestant who is seriously considering orthodoxy, this helps immensely.

[MrLeadman]

First animated Truth Unites video? !This was stellar Gavin. Really looking forward to reading your upcoming book!

[MathAdam]

Trent Horn is going to have to hire an awesome animator to rebut this.

[coopahtroopah]

There was a stretch of time where I was heavily considering becoming Eastern Orthodox (I grew up Baptist), but I ultimately couldn’t bring myself to do it, and my reasons largely fell into those three categories. While I don’t know if I’ll remain a Baptist forever, I think I’ll remain a Protestant for the rest of my life

[Duarte]

Best 5 min that i've ever spent on Youtube. Thank you so much for this Gavin.

[SonicChronicles]

Catholic here, just wanted to say that I love your channel. I don’t agree with everything you say, but I really enjoy listening your lessons. I’m so thankful that you did the debate with Trent and went on Pints with Aquinas, as it opened me up to visiting your channel more. I really enjoy listening to the Protestant perspective on things.

This is such a great overview of Protestantism! Thank you Gavin, always enjoy your videos which are well thought out, balanced, honest, and solid.

[MRBosnoyan]

Born, raised and catechized a Roman Catholic. Now happy to be a catholic Protestant!

Never been more catholic in my life. Always a pleasure Pastor. Happy to support your ministry!

[GospelSimplicity]

Fantastic overview in just five minutes. Great work on this, Gavin!

[thethathen]

Thoughts as an Othrodox. I feel like protestants in practice is largely not as you depict in the first point. I feel like most protestants I hear or interact with strongly believe that Catholics and Orthodox are damned as well. Still, I appreciate your work, and you've definitely got me respecting Protestantism in a way I didn't before

[cleob]
